      It’s a tiny bit more when you consider that this is literally just south Gloucestershire, home to about 300k people.

    this is it, it’s finally happening. you can take away the treats of many British people, and they’ll goon over it being like ‘this is just like the war! :O’ but the bins? the bins are the underlying fabric of the British psyche and state aparatus

    If I’ve learned anything from trashfuture it’s that a theoretical british revolution would be started over bins.

    Regular trash pickup is an unattainable luxury. You’re memory of several decades of regular trash pickup is completely false. You are not witnessing the emergence of increasingly stupid contradictions in the capitalist order. All history has ended. There never was any history.

    I’m sure those bin men didn’t need the money. Probably just spending it all in the local economy anyway. Now there’s a million pound freed up to spend on something that will actually help the people.

    Not like sanitation is a pillar of public health or anything.

    3 weeks is pretty rough. sometimes I can go 3-4 weeks without needing to take out the bin, but not if I’m doing any kind of project around the house. there have been times when I was work limited by the volume of materials going out. right now I’ve down stepped my trash/recycle pickup to every other week to save a few bucks and see if I can make better lifestyle choices re:garbage.

    but fuck all that anyway. how the shit does furloughing the labor force for a vital logistical civic service make any goddamn sense? you just gutted the income of a bunch of people in every community for a service everybody uses and expects.

    and when they do go around, every bin is gonna be overloaded so every shift will be mother fucked, people will walk and there will be garbage piling up everywhere.

    even if I was the biggest shit weasel on earth garbage services would be among the last things I dick around with.

      Every council where I’ve lived is already on three week collection, and it’s fine actually.

    This is like 2p per person savings. Literally just increase a tax by enough to cover that. Neoliberalism is an austerity cult.

    There’s a funny protest idea:

    Everybody just dumps their trash in front of the Parliament and royal palaces, manors, etc until this is reversed.

    Bin collection is entirely delegated to local councils, there is no unified national authority on them, and this instance is just for south Gloucestershire.
